What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo is a portrait of Johnny Cash. He is resting his chin in the palm of his hand smoking a cigarette pondering life as a song writer. My father introduced me to Johnny Cash. He is a musician and song writer and I've always loved his version of Folsom Prison. My father is a huge inspiration for me especially with music. I started writing my own songs a year ago, following down my father's path and passion for music. This tattoo will always remind me of my father.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

I think my ink would say that you have "lived but also grown as a person" I have experienced things like Tough Mudders and Spartan Races that had brought me and my younger brother closer together. One of my artist helped me design a tattoo for me and my brother to wear forever. We earned it and getting matching tattoos was the best way to celebrate it. I have a lot of tattoos to remind me where I have been in my life.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to help out my family. My little brother has a lot of talent with music and so many great ideas about bringing more music opportunities to the community we live in. We have talked about wanting to open a music venue that welcomes all styles of music and art. Right now it's a vision, but I love the fact that he wants make something happen here for local artists. I can help him with that. Also, I would help my mother to buy a car. She has not had the best of luck with vehicle
